The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to. The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door thats unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horses good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
All sounds are sharper in winter; the air transmits better. At night I hear more distinctly the steady roar of the North Mountain. In summer it is a sort of complacent purr, as the breezes stroke down its sides; but in winter always the same low, sullen growl. – John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866
